A 2013 study of anaphylaxis fatalities in Australia found, unlike food allergies, reactions to bee stings were not increasing. However, despite immunotherapy for bee sting allergies being available for about four decades, Canberra clinical immunology and allergy specialist Dr Raymond Mullins, who co-authored the study, said too few receive appropriate treatment. Immunotherapy works by introducing small amounts of the allergen to the body over a period of time, eventually reducing the body’s response when exposed. Researchers found, between 1997 and 2013, half of the people who died from bee stings were known to be allergic. Bees are responsible for the highest number of venomous hospitalisations and deaths in Australia.
